What is perfectionism?
-Is the striving to achieve perfection a desirable goal?
-Is the tendency to strive for perfection embedded in our culture?

We would like to invite you in our search for the answer on these and other questions concerning perfectionism!
Perfectionism is a widely discussed subject in popular media. Nowadays it seems that every student has his or her own experiences with perfectionism, both positive and negative. The increase of perfectionism in media corresponds with scientific research on this subject, that reported perfectionism is higher now than it was 20 years ago, and these numbers seem to stay on the rise.

We want to give a psychological perspective on this topic, based on research, as well as our own experiences working as student-psychologists. In this workshop we will focus on giving a definition of perfectionism, the etiology of it, what perfectionistic behavior consists of and where and how to make behavioral changes.
